Dr. Jennifer Lynch-Branzoi recently received a $100,000 grant from Rutgers’ TechAdvance Fund for her project titled Graphene Enhanced Polymer Matrix Composites: Investigation of the Barrier Resistance to Small Gases and Fuel. She will investigate the permeation of small gases through graphene nanoflake enhanced polymer matrix composites (G-PMCs). These lightweight, high performance G-PMCs are created by graphite exfoliation into graphene nanoflakes directly within molten polymer.
